RESTAURANT COMBINE MAKES A
BAD SLIP
There is panic in the hearts of the
restaurant combine""who very recent
ly obtained an injunction in the court
of Judge Jesse Baldwin restraining
girl waitresses from picketing any of
the restaurants of the combine.
The restaurant bosses had em
ployed every known tactic to defeat
the union waitresses and had stopped
at nothing. They had put strike
breakers on the street to annoy the
pickets in the Knab-Powers and Eft
ing strike and bring about their ar
rest. They pleaded, through their at
torney, Dudley Taylor, that the
strikebreakers be found guilty of
breaking the law that the pickets,
who had been innocent of any of
fense, might also be found guilty.
The arrests wef e made by the whole
sale in the hope of exhausting the
bonds of the union. The fight the
bosses waged cost the waitresses
union nearly $12,000 in a year, and
there was great rejoicing in the camp
of the bosses whene Judge Baldwin
granted an injunction covering not
only the Knab-Powers-Efting com
bine, but more than fifty restaurants
never even approached by the union
waitresses.
The joy has turned to gloom. The
two brilliant lawyers for the combine,
Dudley Taylor, famed for his con
sistent fight against any legislation
that would benefit women workers,
and James S. Wilkerson, ex-TJ. S. dis't
att'y, made a colossal error.
It is the law that in chancery pro
ceedings in equity that a decree must
either set up the facts or a transcript
report of all the evidence must be
filed.
For some inexplicable reason the
brilliant attorneys have forgotten the
law in filing their decree and Hope
Thompson, attorney for the waitress
es, declares that beyond a shadow
of doubt the higher court will re
verse the findings in this case because
of this error.
